I see tRump a/k/a Abu Ivanka has the deflection going 101%. Hosting the head of China, but the news story is about Syria. So when the talks completely fail there won't be any news about that. He is a master of deflection, too bad Reagan took the teflon suit with him. |

Warnings of a ‘chance of war’ between India and China as nuclear rivals face off. No cheers here either. :-( |

"If the US side takes actions that impair the mutual trade relations, disregarding the facts and disrespecting multilateral trade rules, China will not sit idle." Must not upset the Belt and Road Initiative. http://en.people.cn/n3/2017/0819/c90000-9257378.html |

China's "Great Purge" under Xi "More than 60 generals have been investigated and sacked in the drive to introduce a Western-style joint command and promote young officers to top positions." That doesn't bode well for the US should they strike NK 1st. |

US Preparing to Put Nuclear Bombers Back on 24-Hour Alert a status not seen since the Cold War ended @defenseone https://twitter.com/DEFCONWSALERTS/status/922221654071283712 |

"DWS is an analytical organization which focuses on nuclear threats against the United States and offers an alert code to the public based on current events." So not offical then. The last reported status in the press was defcon 4 back in April. Pretty sure that if it went higher it would be noted. |

Yes. Is not official DEFCON of the US Armed Forces. This guys don't realize the real situation. In my opinion they roll the dice to determine the alert status. |

He thinks he has that much power, so he should be measured by his own ruler.I've never though a president had that kind of power. I don't quite understand how Trump could have done that all by himself. With the help of Congress yes.What did Trump do or not do?Same thing he didn't do with the jobs at Carrier. MAGA. |

People from the liberal left side of politics are going to blame Trump for any event on the world stage that doesn't conform to their view of how things should happen. That is to be expected since for the previous 8 years people from the conservative ?? right side of politics blamed Obama for events that didn't conform to their concept of what needed to be done. So far I don't see how our new President has impacted the general flow of world events in a significant way. Nor has anything done by the Pres. impacted my life in any meaningful way. This reinforces my belief that the President, no matter who he/she is, is just a figurehead that the press and the public can blame for everything they don't like in their otherwise ho hum existence. The way I see it, it is good that the USA and China are involved in cooperative business and trade deals. The more China has invested in US business and trade the less likely it is that they will provoke some sort of military confrontation that would immediately cut them off from their investments in America. I didn't vote for Trump and I still think he has rubbed way too many people the wrong way but unlike some predictions we ain't dead yet. Bob DeWoody My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events. |

China's first homegrown aircraft carrier heads out for sea trial. China's first domestically built aircraft carrier began sea trials on Sunday, a historic step in the country's mission to build a navy capable of rivaling the world's leading maritime powers.This may give some some incentive to go and play in their own backyard now instead of playing in others' without invitation and disturbing the neighbourhood. Cheers. |
